A CnriOus SocietY.

Near the little village OF Horde, on the
borders of the historical New Forest, in
Hampshire, England, is located reli.
gious community known as the GirlIngite
shakers. Their founder, Mrs. Girling,
was an old lady of whom apparently moth
ing is known beyond her public record.
ISt prominent features of their creed are
fslibacy and tRSvTt earthly NOR:
tally for the menfoaI TYBhe community
as reward for steadfasrness. Their faith.
however, has just been severely shaken
by the death of Mrs. Girlng, their
An other in God" Death has visited the
community before, but its assault was At
tributed to lack of earnest conviction and
belief, which alone, they say, can insure
supernatural inlerposition between
themselves and mortality. At one time
they leased farm, called New
Forest Lodge, paying $4,000 for thu
lease, and $4,000 extra for stock and fix
lures. From this they were driven bv
popular hatred. They numbered then
100, now reduced to twenty, twelve
women and eight men. Their encamp-
ment consists of seven wooden huts with
canvas roos. One is the common living
room, two are dOrmitories tor the men
and two for the women. One room serves
as a chapel or meeting room, and one was
reserved for Mrs. GIring. There is also
shed used as a work room. The habits
Of the Girlingites are simple. They live
HhieAy upon buttermIlk, bread and but
j r., or cheese, vegetables grown by them
Nsyes, and occasionally bacon supplied
by charity. The death OF Mrs. Girling
has destroyed their faith in their peculiar
tenets. But" they say, ali our mother
was not an incarnation OF the Deity we
can still look tn the Deity Himself, and
there is our hope beyond all possibility OF
mistake"

An Ingentously Constructed Yarn.


A Young man left his Iowa home and came
to Chicago. He purchased a lutte grocery
store on Madison street and began the career
of prosperous business man. For a time his
letters to his relatives were roscaTe and full
of cheer. But as the months rolled on the
missives became less frequent, and the old
70 ks at home grew apprehensve lest some
thing evil had befallen the boy. The mo her.
grieving over the inrxplicabe silence of her
son, wrote him touching letter. in answer
TO which she received the following:

ago became flushed while at my work. and

dition l caught a severe cold. from which
am still suffering. VIII write at greater
length in my next. Love to all. JOHN.
This letter evidently fell into the hands OF
the old man, for a week later the boy recev cd
the following note:

A case lately came before Judge Bar
rett, of the Supreme Court, New York,
that recalled the days of Boss Tweed, in
the shape of an application tor an order of
transfer to the city of S3,3IT 70, now IN the
hands OF Chamberlain WINS. Tho appli-
cation for the order was made by District
Attorney Purdy. The amount is part of
the estate of John d. Welch, Jr.. once in
timately connected with the Tweed ring.
WEIGH, with others, was indicted for con-
spiracy in 1878, and gave bail in the sum
OF $1,000. He went to Cuba, intending to
return in time for trial, but was taken i'll.
sailed for New York, and died on the
passage. His bond was forfeited. After
the settlement Of suits, in which Welch's
estate was involved, this sum remained
in the hands OF the City Chamberlain, and
Mr.. Purdy seeks an order for transfer TO
satisfy the claim on the bail bond.

CURIOUS PROCLAMATION IsSUEDBY A MEXICAN MAYOR.
special from the City of Mexico TO the st. Louis
Gto5e-Dsmocrot says: The president OF the NUM-
cfpalty OF Iturbidc in the State OF GuanajuatO,
has just issued the following highly interesting
proclamation:
considering that the greater part OF the male
citizens OF this vicinity wear in the present
only drawers, which garments are 50 repugnant
and immoral that they offend mOdcSty, and are SO
many crimes against decency, il becomes neceS-
Sary TO prOmulSate the following: l. Every male
resident OF this city Is required wear pantalOOns
from and after the 9th OF June. z. Any person
within the boundaries OF this city, be he resident
or not, who is found diSobeying this requirement
VIII DC liable 10 imprisonment from one TO three
days and to a fine OF from soc. TO 81 Measures
Will be taken for the proper enforcement or the
ordnance"
There IS no doubt that the above was issued In
good faith, and IL Is so accepted and commented
upon by the press OF the republic. The Monitor
says: This thing Of pantaloOns Is Well enough,
but IL Is possible that the people OF Iturbide may
buy pantaloons OF manta, the sane material OF
which the drawers are made. How much better
then Will the situation be-" Manta is the CON-
mon heavy domestic OF which much OF the cloth
Ing OF the lower classes Is made.
